Great news: we’ve updated the Sentry’s GitHub and GitHub Enterprise integrations! With the growing relationship between GitHub and Microsoft’s developer stack, Sentry will help users save time, squash bugs, and work more efficiently through the many different parts of the development workflow.

So what’s new then?

GitHub and Sentry users also benefit from easier sign-on and organization-wide setup improvements that allow for quicker access to your account as well as more efficiency in your setup and workflow.

What’s especially exciting for GitHub users is new permissioning. Before, Sentry required access to all your private repos, even the ones you didn’t use with Sentry. But now, you can pick and choose what repos you want Sentry to access.

We also switched from OAuth to GitHub apps, which allowed for this updated permissioning.

Releases and Suspect Commits for Github Enterprise

The feature set that depends on integrating with a version control system — namely, commits — is now unlocked for Github Enterprise customers, offering a broader experience to Sentry users who previously had more limited use of Sentry.

Login

Through the new sign-on and sign-up functionality, you can use your GitHub account to log into Sentry. Get access to your organization with your existing credentials and minimize time spent on setup and configuration. As a security and admin bonus, the new login features also mean fewer dependencies on your usernames and passwords list.

Organization-Wide Setup

Beyond sign-on, the settings process for GitHub users will also be more streamlined with organization-wide settings. You decide which projects and repositories you’d like to give permission for Sentry to access, and Sentry will take care of the rest.

This level of customization eliminates the sense of “all or nothing” by syncing only the project or environments you explicitly want connected. Check out this previous post to learn more about our new sign-on and settings features for integrations.

Sign-on and setting improvements are made possible by viewers like you… Actually, they are made possible by our switch from OAuth to Apps on the GitHub Marketplace. Stay tuned for more about that soon!

Sentry provides open source error tracking that shows you every crash in your stack as it happens, with the details needed to prioritize, identify, reproduce, and fix each issue. It also allows your users to send feedback that helps your support team respond appropriately.
